Mason Wyler Beaten and Raped, Non-Consensual-Like

Wyler reported first in a faux news report on his blog on Sunday that he was threatened at gunpoint and then sexually assaulted in his own home by a U.S. Army captain who had shown up under the auspices of returning Wyler’s lost wallet.

In two subsequent blog posts Wyler went on to explain more details of the incident, which he admitted began with him inviting the rapist, who claimed to be a fan, into his Dallas home and agreeing to some consensual three-way action that included Wyler’s boyfriend.

The scariness ensued after the two agreed to some bondage play, which culminated in the attacker–who Wyler calls Danny Vanarro on his blog, though says this is not his real name–pulling out a gun and gagging both of the victims, dosing both of them with GHB in their anuses, then raping them repeatedly. Wyler’s boyfriend managed to escape first, and the details of the later parts of the incident are blurred by the drugs both victims were injected with.

We think the assailant remains at large, despite the charges made in the initial faux blog post, and despite Wyler’s claim that the rapist left a wallet and hotel key in the apartment which were ignored as evidence by the cops who showed up on the scene–he says they chose instead to take his cell phone and laptop, which he still hasn’t gotten back.

Though both blog commenters and police alike have done some blaming the victim here for being in the adult industry, Mason is quick to point out, in an interview with AVN online, “I am so not what people think of as a porn star,” he said. “I’ve never done drugs, never been to a gay event, never been to a pride event, never even been to a circuit party. I’m a big [World of Warcraft] player; a geek.”

We would argue that no one, no matter how slutty or kinky they are, deserves or wants to be raped, but we digress.

Wyler remains pissed at his neighbors, one of whom is a cop, for not doing anything to help him despite his screams; at the hospital for charging him $100 for the rape kit; at the Dallas police for making him feel like he was to blame for being a porn star and inviting the alleged rapist into his home; and at the U.S. military in general, just because.*

Our thoughts go out to Mason and his boyfriend, who are currently hiding out knowing that more than one of the assailants knows their real names and address and they fear a repeat attack.

I'm not one for bragging about intellectual accomplishments (it's something I learned from, you know, graduating with honors from Brown University), but Conner Habib is justifiably excited about his blurb in a book written by Carl Sagan's son.
